Popular Bollywood and television
actress, Deepshikha Nagpal, who is currently seen essaying the character of
Nilambari in &TV’s Main Bhi Ardhangini has been shooting away from her
Mumbai home in Jaipur for over 4 months. In an attempt to keep abreast with the
lives of her two kids, she has been making constant trips to Mumbai to spend as
much free time she can with her daughter and son who are currently at the age
of 18 and 13 respectively. Be it birthdays or any special occasions of theirs,
erratic shoot schedules have kept the actress heavily occupied with shoots.
Speaking about the difficulties she
faces being away from home, Deepshikha said, “As much as I love shooting for
Main Bhi Ardhangini, it’s always a heart-breaking moment to leave my kids alone
in Mumbai and come to Jaipur. It’s the first time I have been staying away from
them for work and the distance is much more difficult that I thought it to be.
Whenever I get time off, I take the first flight back to Mumbai so that I don’t
lose even a minute to spend time with them. The constant early morning, 5:00 am
flights and late-night returns to Jaipur has taken a toll over my health. At
times I have travelled just for a day to Mumbai and returned the very same
night, exhausted but content at seeing that my kids are doing great. While it
can get extremely tiring and hectic, I don’t mind doing it for them because
that’s the kind of mother I have been and that’s what has made them confide and
share an extremely close bond with me.”
Adding further, she said, “I have
never faced any kind of struggles with work, but more emotional ones arising
from motherhood. I used to be occupied with shoots even when they were young
but despite that, I ensured to take out time to raise them well and never let
them feel that I am away. Being a single mother is hard, especially when you
cannot be a part of their growing years much and miss out on being there for so
many activities of their lives. Perhaps seeing your kids grow itself is an
emotional struggle that every mother faces.”
On asking her what gets her through
each day, the actress said, “I talk to my kids regularly, sometimes 5 times in
a day and although I may be away, I am aware of all the ups and downs in their
life. I believe the bond that I share with my son and daughter has become much
stronger in the past few months and I believe it’s somewhere for their
betterment too. I never stopped being a best friend to my kids, however
occupied I got with work. We still plan exciting outings and vacations where we
decide to enjoy our time together and cut ourselves off from the daily
stress. We all have certain commitments
to make in life and my kids really understand and support me well in that. For
a mother, that’s all that matters.”
To make up for all the lost time
with her kids, Deepshikha recently went on an extravagant trip to Austria with
her son and daughter. While she continues to keep her optimism high, her
character Nilambari is up to another evil plan to cause trouble in Madhav
(Avinash Sachdev) and Vaidehi’s (Aditi Rawat) life.
